a phase ii clinical trial to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of sctv01c and sctv01e in population aged ≥12 years previously fully vaccinated with inactivated covid-19 vaccine

Conditions: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Summary: the objective of study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of sctv01c or sctv01e as booster compared with sinopharm inactivated covid-19 vaccine as booster. the study will also evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of 2-dose vaccinations.

the study is a randomized, double-blind, and approved vaccine-controlled phase ii booster study. it will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of one dose of sctv01c or sctv01e as booster compared with one dose of sinopharm inactivated covid-19 vaccine or one dose of commirnaty as booster. the study will also evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of 2-dose vaccinations (1-dose of sctv01c and 1-dose of sctv01e, or 2-dose of sctv01e, or 1-dose of sinopharm inactivated covid-19 vaccine and 1-dose of sctv01e, 1-dose of comirnaty and 1-dose of sctv01e).
